April's playboy centerfold 5'9" 127lbs?

This kind of stuff ticks me off. I have a 10yo daughter, and I hate to think she'd want to be like that when she grows up. BTW, please, if you are this size and look good, correct me!!!! I am definitely NOT trying to say anything about anyone here! Rather that I have a handful of friends who have fought anorexia, including my very dearest friend who nearly lost her life to a horrible combination of anorexia, bulemia, and exercise bulemia.

My DD is 5' 10", about 125-130 pounds and looks great.  She is 14 so she is still growing and is not her adult height/weight.  She eats healthy food in appropriate quantities and got a better genetic lot in life than I did. I do agree that Playboy and others do a disservice by making guys think that anything over 125 is fat but that doesn't mean every tall, thin person is anorexic or worse.

I'm far from 5'9" I'm only 5'5" and I weight 145 sometimes 142 and I wear size 10. sometimes 8. I have to ask this question, How old are you? she? My height says my BMI is 138, I would look anerexic at 138, my husband complains that I am too bony at 145. I'm 52.5 yrs old. I think that they should include age for these BMI charts because as women our bodies change with child birth and with menopause. JMHO

I am in my mid 30's and have one daughter...the playmate is 26

You've got a lucky husband!  Actually, I'm a lucky husband too because I've got a cool wife....   We're both pretty cool about such things. As for the size of the model, WHO CARES. I honestly do not understand why people care what the playboy models sizes are. For me, I see "mmmmm, naked woman!" and move on to the next page. It's a fantasy and that's it. I don't expect or want my wife to look like that. Ever engaged in some daydraming that might have seemed fun in the privacy of your thoughts but you'd never actually do it in real life? That's all it is. Pure fluff and fantasy. As for the size and shape of a real woman.... I've always said, I prefer a woman with meat on her bones... someone I can hold on to. So long as you feel good and you're happy, WHO CARES what anyone else might look like, let alone a magazine model? As for the implants, whether she has them or not, once again... WHO CARES. For some women, it's a matter of self esteem and I get that.... And it's not for everybody... so it's a choice, no? Just don't hold yourself up against impossible and unrealistic standards. There are already way too many people who do this, don't be one of them. I'll come right out and say this -- the THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT part of a woman to me is her face. If I like a woman's face, it does not matter at all to me what the rest of her looks like. REALLY.  Proof? I met and fell in love with Pinalope BEFORE her surgery. Yes, I would be in love with her fat or thin. My only concern is whether she is happy - that's all. And on the physical side, I think she has an incredibly beautiful face. I'll add to this:  Pinalope and I have spoken about plastic surgery and one point I was adamant about was that there is no way a scalpel should come anywhere near her face. I'd much prefer my wife to look like my wife and not some 18 year old cheerleader. When I grow old, I want her to grow old with me. So, who cares about playboy models? It's momentary fluff and their looks, too, will fade.

Just be happy being yourself. After all, why would you want to be anyone else? There is nothing quite so attractive as a woman who can love herself. Love yourself to love others. Fredling

Awwwwwwww!   What a great post!  I love it!     Pinalope is one lucky gal!

The luckiest :-))))))

I'm just about 5'11" and even with the extra 10 lbs or so of panni skin that needs to be removed I'm 187 and a size 12!! I have bones sticking out everywhere including ribs on my chest! yuck! It's getting a little gross to me! 127!?! I can't even imagine weighing that little. Honestly, I'm having trouble believing that! Maybe she's really narrow? I have very broad shoulders- might weight more??? I worked for a designer and the fit model was 5'10" and a size 6. She looked SO skinny and just yucky! No boobs, no shape at all. Just bony and not pretty at all. NOT curvy Playboy material at all. I don't know what she weighted, but it had to be close to that amount. ew.

I am some where between 5'7" and 5'9" the reason I say between because all my life I thought I was 5'9", then in September the nurse measured me and said I was 5'7" which I don't quite believe because I'm much taller than my mother who's 5'6" and a guy friend of mine that's 5'7"….any way. I weight 155 and wear a size 6….there isn't a day goes by that I don't hear from someone that I'm to thin for being as tall as I am….Now I'm comfortable at a size 6 and I'm comfortable with my weight…the funny thing is over the weekend I weighed myself at GNC one of those scales you put your money it….it put in my states and it said I am overweight by 20lbs…if I lost 20 more pounds I would look emaciated with out a doubt.

Hugs,

I think it's so interesting how weights/heights/frame size vary so widely. I'm 5'9" (large frame) and don't remember weighing anything less than 150. I hit 150 for 5 seconds in 9th grade. I currently fluctuate between 170 and 173 and am wearing a 10 on the bottom and a 12 on top. I have a big chest and thick waist and small hips. I currently wear a 34DDD, waist is 34 in, and my hips are 38 inches. I'd love to have a smaller waist bc I feel as though I look out of proportion -- like a rectangle.
